Is there any way to show the card description in the list of cards? This would be so helpfull to be able to just glance at cards to know what they are about.
I'm hoping this will be added soon, but I don't have much hope since this was made in 2017.
I was considering switching to Trello (instead of Padlet) to be able to add a card counter (Dashcards Power Up) but I really need there to be a visible description.
A screenshot of one of my Padlet Cards:
Maybe add a toggle so it's optional? I know it isn't suitable for all boards because some have long descriptions.
Oh yes, also please make it free! It would be helpful for so many people like me!
If I can't find a decent workaround (which I haven't so far, after an hour of searching- the titles can't even be formatted to be used instead of the description), I might keep working in Padlet, even if it's harder to keep count of my cards.
YES love this idea!
I can't believe it is 7.5 years later and you can still only see the card title and not an inch more. Just one or two lines to allow a few more details. I wanted to track quotations. I've got the builder name and company in the title. How nice it would be to put the price in the details and see it without opening the card. I keep coming back to Trello because it is pretty and I live in the hope that one day it will be better, but something always quickly drives me to leave again. 7.5 years says it all really.
Hi @Vicky White
I feel your frustration. Atlassian bought Trello and have slowly abandoned it. The truth is, it is highly unlikely that there will be new functionality for Trello developed by Atlassian.
The effort seems to be focused on growing Jira Work Management and trying to encourage the Trello users (the ones Atlassian want) to migrate to that...
What gives me hope is that even in today's highly competitive world, Trello is still incredibly popular amongst users. To me, it is still an original and unique solution that does things differently to almost all solutions out there
Secondly, there is still a very active developer market for it. The less Atlassian do with it, the more opportunity there is for developers to fill the void. For your particular example, you could use custom fields to make sure that info is on the front of the card...
And what if we can't pay for Trello's plan to get those?
I've found the powerup Amazing Fields pretty good, although there is a longer loading time.
@[deleted]then you don't get the feature. what kind of question is that
I agree! I'm trying Trello out for the first time. I'm about 12 minutes into the inspection journey. Sniff test, if you will. I've been a co-producer on million dollar film projects and there's such a vacancy when it comes to brilliant project management software. I had high hopes Trello might give me a fast track for small projects for my home office operations. But THIS ISSUE -- NO CARD DESCRIPTION VISIBLE -- mentioned SEVEN YEARS AGO has apparently been IGNORED by Trello. For me it's a deal killer (I just now realized Tymoteus used virtually the same phrase!). The developers of Trello aren't listening. And so onward in search of a better product.
I use the "Pin Card" Power-up and then title the card "Guidance". That way it always stays at the top and users can read the Guidance for each List.
Or, add a label and create an automation that every x amount of time, sort the list so that label is at the top.
Found the Show Description power-up, which solves this issue. Of course, it's paid and clunky -- shame on you, Atlassian.
